THE PET SHOW.  This was a new event for the Pack, intended just to have some fun and generate some enthusiasm for the upcoming year.  All the boys were invited to bring their pet(s) – any type of pet counted – and introduce their pet(s) to the rest of the pack.

THE ROCKET LAUNCH.  We also shot off rockets that one of the dens made in a den meeting.  The boys are encouraged to bring siblings and friends to this informal meeting, and particularly other boys who might be interested in scouting.
